For the class project, you will create a designer toy. Even if you don´t actually make the toy sculpture, you can post pictures of your sketches.

The 1st of November, 2017, I will choose randomly amongst the projects posted to the class and the winner will receive a 1 year Skillshare Premium Membership and a reproduction of the toy I created in the class.

Here´s the list of materials you will need (you can also download it as a pdf):

FOR SCULPTING:

Wire (to attach the head to the body and the ears)
Aluminium Foil Paper
Polymer clay (or any other type of clay that you want to use for sculpting) - I´m using Super Sculpey
Clay modelling tools (You can buy a basic set, and use other tools for sculpting and creating textures, like color shapers, paper clips, wire, sponges, pens, and whatever you can come up with)
Rubbing alcohol (99% or 70%)
Old soft brush for using the alcohol
Roller pin (optional)

FOR BAKING:

A toaster oven (depending on the clay you´re using, there are some air dry clays that don´t require an oven)
Baking sheet with aluminium foil paper

FOR SKETCHING:

Paper
Pencil
Eraser

FOR PREPARING THE SURFACE AND FIXING IMPERFECTIONS:

Different grades of sanding paper
Moto tool with different bits (I´m using a Dremel Rotary Tool)

FOR PAINTING:

Nitrile or vinyl gloves
Acrylic Paints in the colors you want
White or black acrylic paints for the base coat - Don´t use Spray Paint if you´re using Super Sculpey!
Old flat acrylic brushes in different sizes (don´t use expensive ones because they are going to get ruined if you use the dry brush technique I use, if you want to paint just solid colors you´ll need round brushes in different sizes and they won´t suffer so much damage)
Fine (#0) Round Brush for adding details
Paper towel
Water based acrylic varnish (I use Liquitex Satin Varnish) - Don´t use Spray Paint if you´re using Super Sculpey!

IF YOU WANT TO ADD EYES THAT ARE NOT MADE OF CLAY:

Clear glass cabochon (for making your own eyes) or Glass eyes (or doll eyes)
Glue (I use E6000)
